Thanks for reaching out about Motu. A watery stool is probably just urine and lacks feces. Cucumbers have high moisture and little other nutrients. A wide variety of chopped vegetables (greens, carrots, etc.) should be offered. Young quail also need a good protein source, so some insects can be utilized. If appears ill, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
